if you want it quite, do not tay here. The party starts.... any time. if you want to meet people, this is the place.

I stayed only one night in the dorm (700 Pesos) and my flip flops were stolen by the same drunken crowd which had sex in the dorm and screamed and drank all night. I personally believe, you can rent a own room if you plan doing such things. In addition, the dorm could or should be a place where you sleep rather then drink and sing at 4am in the morning.

Beside that, the Austrian owner is extremly helpful and the staff amazing. A welcome drink, cheap internet and very flexible staff. Still, you meet here also the people who wanne live ona US$ a day but drink all night.

I stayed alone at Frendz Resort. I am from the US and traveled alone from Manila to Boracay.

Positives of the trip: Getting to the island was a little tricky. Without the help from the Frendz resort employee, I would have been lost! He picked me up at the airport and took me to the jetty port, then helped me get a tricycle to the hostel. Once I arrived at the hostel, staff took my bags and offered me a drink. The staff was friendly enough and the hostel was cute and clean. The location is PERFECT. Just a short walk to the beach and mall.

Negatives: I had a single room, without A/C (my biggest mistake of the trip). The room was a bit dark but comfy if you didn't mind the scortching heat, the little roommates (the lizards) who made an appearance once in a while or the rooster and the stray dogs that were constantly making noise. If I paid the extra money for the A/C, I may have been able to sleep better. Only downside to the location is you have to walk down a short alley to get to the resort. Not great if you're a single female walking alone.

Very cheap price. Pay the extra money for the A/C and you should be okay.

After a red eye flight to Manila and nearly missing our connecting flight all we wanted to do was get to a bed and rest. We got a moto taxi from the pier to a dirt road and all I began to worry. Is this a joke? After walking about 100 meters down this dirt road we came to a sign for frendz. The surrounding area was a mix of rubble and jungle. I had serious doubts. Once we got into the gate and found the common area we felt relieved. People! We spoke with a woman who asked us to sit down and we were offered a welcome drink. We arrived quite early so our room wasn't ready yet. We decided to have some breakfast. While waiting for our food we began chatting with two German guys and a third came over and started asking us some questions. I wondered who this guy was until he introduced himself as the owner of the resort! He was very friendly and kind to our son who was pretty grumpy after not sleeping most of the night.
The rest of our stay was fantastic. We met some lovely people and will definitely stay here again.

I stayed here in April, arriving as a single traveller I was greeted by friendly staff and a mango cocktail! I stayed in the 400p dorm rooms which are very different than normal dorms.... It has 2 single beds down stairs plus bathroom... And then upstairs (in the loft) there is 4 single beds with plenty of room for bags and storage!!!

Very safe... So friendly... Right in the center: close to summer place, cocomangas, tattoo bar, Dmall... Can't get any better!

Enjoy your stay with friends! Might see you there for new years!! Cause I'll be back
